anti-venom

Anti-venom is a medical treatment used to counteract the effects of venom from snake bites or other venomous creatures. It is made from antibodies collected from the blood of animals, usually horses or sheep, that have been immunized against specific venoms. When a person is bitten, administering anti-venom can neutralize the venom's toxic effects, reducing pain and preventing serious complications. The effectiveness of anti-venom depends on timely administration and the type of venom involved; it is a critical tool in emergency medicine for treating bites from poisonous snakes and other venomous animals.
